IMPROVEMENT I IN SHAFTING.

Specification forming partof Letters Patent No. 47.854, dated May 23, M65.

To all whom it may concern:

lie it known that I, FRANKLING P. PERE Goy, of lndianValley, llumascounty, State of California, have invented a new and Improverb Union (luidc and Journal; and I do which Figure 1 is aplan of thejournal; Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, are sections.

In Fig. 1, A and I represent the two sections,-whieh slide together by means of the slideways ll ll. (Shown in Fig 4.)

, Figs. 3 and 4 represent the guide or journal in two parts, and when joinedarc kept in place by means of bolts through the openings at E l E E.

(J (3 represent the bearings or blocks which are set iii-the grooves and are moved forward by means of the set-screws G G. (Shown in Figs. 2 and 3.)

F F represent the plates through which the set-screws pass, which can be either cast with the box or made movable, as shown in the drawings, in which case they have the shoulders L L, (shown at Fig. 3,) to keep them in place.

U G O O areguide-bloeks. I) D D 1) are friction-rollers.

The nature of my invention consists in providing a guide and journal for horizontal and upright shafting, so arranged by means of rollers as to overcome a large amount of friction, especially when applied to the stems of stamps used in quartz-mills.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, 1 will proceed to describe its construction and operation,

vl make the journal or guide-ladder of iron or wood. The blocks or bearingsare made of brass or other material. The friction-rollers are made of iron. lt'desirahle, these frictionrollers can be 'plaeed'on the inside of the blocks C G O C. It used fora horizontal shaft only, the two lowerbloeks need beprovided with the rollers; but if used as a guide for stems a liixrd to the stamps in quartz-crushing mills,-i'ou-r would be needed, and are placed at right angles to those shown in the ii'gure. The-duo parts of the journal are firmly held together bymeans of four iron bolts. The guide-blocks are tightened or loosened by means of setscrews, This guide and journal are renderrd indispensable when compared with bearing now in use, which by constant and uneven friction become untrue and cannot be remedied, except by'r epaekingwith llabbiit metal or other material.

Having thus described myinrent-ion, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters .latout, is i 1. The combination and arrangementof the guide-blocks G 00 with the set-screws (l G and the friction-rollers l) D l) 1).

2. The manner of connecting the two sections by means of the slideways il II substantially as set 'forth.
